WHAT THE HELL YEAR IS IT?


UPDATE 5/30/11: WFMU has posted sets from the Primavera Sound Festival. Day 1 can be found here. Day 2 can be found here.

On Friday and Saturday this weekend (May 27 & 28), WFMU will be broadcasting live, streaming online, from the Primavera Sound Festival, from 3:00 ET (U.S.) to 12:00 ET (U.S.). Among the acts are Suicide, playing their first LP, at 3:00 E.T. on Friday. How cool is that, yankee office rats? If you have a desk job, and a permissive workplace, you can listen to Suicide, live, from Barcelona, Spain.

Other elder noise bros appearing include Glenn Branca (Friday, 5:00 E.T.), Half Japanese (Friday 9:00 E.T.), Pere Ubu (playing Modern Dance, Saturday, 4:00 E.T.), Einsturzende Neubauten, (Saturday, 6:50), and Swans (Saturday, 9:15 E.T.). The rest of the line-up includes a host of other entirely listenable bands, among them Ty Segall and Pissed Jeans. (The full line-up can be found here.)

If you don't think that this is a rad thing, then you haven't taken into consideration how much this world has changed since these bands were on their first go around. Maybe you're too young. Let me tell you, it's a mind fuck, a good old fashioned American mind fuck.
